This blog highlights how applications built around DWF can do more than what can be done just using paper. The blog covers the building (architectural/electrical/construction), manufacturing, and infrastructure (e.g., GIS, telecommunications) industries.

Project Freewheel: Share Your White Board Content with DWF

So we’ve all been there: you’ve just finished a long meeting, the white board is covered in flow charts and lists, documenting everything that has just been agreed, and now everybody is leaving the room, and somebody (i.e., you) needs to record it.

Well this tip will get the contents of the white board recorded electronically and shared without laborious Microsoft Office Drawing. It seems like a lot of steps, but in fact really only takes about 5 minutes.

Use the “Email this view…” icon to send a link to all of the meeting attendees. They don’t need any software to view the DWF, and you don’t need to clog email with attachments as you’ll only be sending a link.

There, you’re done. The contents of the white board is recorded and distributed.
